Help identify this aquatic species

[larajw2003]

While fishing in shallow freshwater inland stream in central VA, I came upon a strange aquatic creature. It was about 6 inches long by 1 in wide, looked like an unformed fish. It was albino-white, rubbery, had a slit along its belly, and two short pointy undeveloped fins or feet. Looked like it had an undeveloped fish head. Face looked like it had a small pointy mouth at very tip. It was floating dead in the water. What was this?!

When anything has been dead in the water for a while, it will appear malformed and rubbery. Maybe the oddity of your find is just due to the amount of time it was dead.
